    Any recommendations for Leatherworker 25+ and Weaver 30+? That's about where I am at now.

    Just throwing this out here :

    I don't usually use leves for Carpenter because I find that I can at least break even (on my server) by just buying logs off the AH and making tons of lumber, then re-selling it. I use a macro for the lumber so I can actually do other things while crafting (IRL that is) It's not 100% efficient but hey, laundry doesn't do itself...

    The same can't be said for LTW and WVR though...nice thing about Carpenter is that the logs are always at regular level intervals. And they are obtainable by Gathering so sell on the AH for less.

    By the Seat of the Pants - 23912 xp, 410 gil
    Courier, Costa del Sol (Eastern La Noscea)
    1 Linen Chausses

    ltw25
    Belts Served Cold - 8231 xp, 369 gil
    Town, triple
    3 Voyager's Belts

    ltw20* if you're not concerned about leve efficiency this is a lot less effort than your 25 options.
    Fire and Hide - 5073 xp, 244 gil
    Town, triple
    5 Aldgoat Leather

    30+ in general dye synths are good but you'll want to have a gatherer at that range as well.

    Best repeatable tradecraft leves.

    For 25 Leather
    Quarymill

    Forgot the name of leve Quest
    But it's the one asking 3 x 3 items.
    69k exp

    Cheap materials, double crafting work though.

    Make Leather Duckbill (level 2)into Padded Leather Duckbill (level 21 ish)

    Materials :
    Leather x 9, Undyed Hempen Cloth x9 ( cheap to get from NPC + easy to HQ Leather Duckbill )
    Then
    HQ leather duckbill x 9, leather x 9, Undyed Cotton Cloth x 9. ( easy to HQ also )

    Spent around 500 gils, you gets 2.1k gils back, with random possible 3x 4xAldgoat Skin.

    A good way to farm Aldgoat skins. I got like 100+ after spamming this.

    CUL 30

    True Grits - 13887 xp, 144 gil
    Town, triple
    6 Cornmeal

    Currently CUL 31. Is this the best leve to spam to get to 37? I did Walnut Bread at 20 and Chamomile Tea at 25 and had no problem HQing those. I have to pretty much get lucky with Goods/Excellents and pray to the RNG gods that I don't fail multiple touches in a row with SH1 up to HQ Cornmeal.

    My crafting strat is IQ + SH to start, HT for quality, Manipulation at 20 durability, TotT when Goods proc, Standard Touch when Excellent procs, Rumination when I'm tapped for CP and SH + Standard Synth to finish the synth.

    When you don't have Byregot's Blessing, 40 duras are a bitch to HQ. This leve has the same issues as Cornmeal but it's a little more xp per turn in:

    Pretty as a Picture - 22712 xp, 287 gil
    Courier, Costa del Sol
    5 Dark Vinegar

    If you make Limsa homepoint, just take aethernet to fisherman's bottom and take the ferry to costa for 100g. Return, boat, or port back to keep costs down.

    Otherwise nothing stopping for from keeping on doing the Chamomile Tea one. I did Vinegar up to 40 because the 35 ones kind of suck also imo.

    May also consider farming up a bunch of crystals and dye pigments and plowing through those for a while. Good xp just for filling up the quality bar.

    Just a little note but the GSM Leve 'Coral on my mind' is actually 40, not 45. Sadly red coral is pretty pricey on moogle so HQ rings are going from between 4k to 6k and NQ between 2.5k to 3k but if money and leve allowance are not a problem for you then i'd say its probably the best one to go 40-50 with

    I did Dark Vinegar from 30 to 40 as well. The mats were cheaper and frequently had bargain HQs available.

    I've done this for a number of crafts. It's cheap if you have miner or botany high to be able to collect the crystals your self. You can grab the pigment on the 2 spots that don't have crystals.

    I would just do the great strides > touch route, finishes quicker than doing hasty touch spam. From any levels 30 to 35 this will get you 4-6k per synth. Doesn't hurt that the dyes sell decently too.

    Does anyone know where to farm Boar Hides for LTW35+, other than the one in East Shroud?
    There are only 3-4 boars spawning each time over there while the area itself is too packed to even get a kill. The market price is just unaffordable.

    Have you checked leve quest reward ?
    They are random tho...

    I recall l46 boars at Urth's Gift SE of Quarrymill.

    A good reason to have a 50 combat class before getting into LTW (most crafts really).

    I didn't really check leve rewards though, was hoping for a more reliable source other than leve unless if we totally have no choice.

    The Lv45Boars amount in Quarrymill indeed is better than the one in East Shroud/Hawthorne Hut. Surprisingly I didn't get a single drop from them even after 20 kills which I found very strange, while on the other hand, the boars in Hawthorne Hut drop the hides almost 90% of the time.

    Currently out in the world documenting NPC vendor lists, found this of interest to 30 CULs:

    True Grits - 13887 xp, 144 gil
    Town, triple
    6 Cornmeal

    In Gridania at the Whistling Miller, NPC sells cornmeal for 57 gil apiece there. If you're good with taking a net gil cut and leve efficiency isn't a concern, nice way to buy your way past this level range. At the very least keep this in mind when checking market board.

    Edit: Well on Hyperion there are plenty of listings for less than 57 gil on MB. Not enough to make this a profit (would have to be less than 24 apiece) but meh.

    Anyone know where this leve is for dried prunes?

    I took the leve "No More Dumpster Diving" from 35 cul to 50. Requires 1 Knight's Bread. Super cheap and 100k experience with HQs. Make Dragonhead a favored location. Botany makes this almost free, though the materials don't cost much for what you get.

    Is there a specific level when the tradecraft leves go from 200% to 300% reward for HQ, or is % based on the type of leve it is (single trade in vs. triples)? Trying to plan out leveling paths for my remaining crafts and it's going to make my life easier if the 300% bonus starts sooner rather than later ~_~

    There is no 300% bonus. It's a 300% total (100% base + 200% bonus).

    Whats a fast path to getting Carpenter up? Currently at 25 so far.
    I tried the 9x iron spears and felt it took too long for the xp.
    Allowances isnt a concern for me as I'm up to 75 or so.
    I typically get to around 80, burn em out on something, and wait for it to build up.
    I have armorer 50 and Cul 37. Rest are 18-21
